Solve the system. ^x C_(y + 1) = 20, ^(x − 1) C_y = 10
$$\mathrm{Solve}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{system}. \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\overset{\mathrm{x}} {\:}\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{y}\:+\:\mathrm{1}} \:\:=\:\:\mathrm{20},\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\overset{\mathrm{x}\:−\:\mathrm{1}} {\:}\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{y}} \:\:=\:\:\mathrm{10} \\ $$

^(x − 1) C_y = 10 ⇒(((x−1)!)/((x−1−y)!y!))=10 ^x C_(y + 1) = 20 ⇒((x!)/((x−y−1)!(y+1)!))=20 ⇒((x(x−1)!)/((x−1−y)!(y+1)y!))=20 ⇒(x/((y+1)))×10=20 ⇒(x/(y+1))=2 ⇒x=2y+2 ⇒(((2y+1)!)/((y+1)!y!))=10 ⇒(((y+y+1)!)/((y+1)!y!))=10 ⇒(((y+1+1)(y+1+2)...(y+1+y))/(1×2×...y))=10 =(((y+1)/1)+1)(((y+1)/2)+1)...(((y+1)/y)+1)=10 since each term is >2, we may have at most 3 terms to get product 10, i.e. y≤3. with y=3: ⇒x=8 ^(x − 1) C_y = ^7 C_3 =35≠10 with y=2: ⇒x=6 ^(x − 1) C_y = ^5 C_2 =10 ⇒ok ⇒solution is x=6, y=2
